Restructuring and turnaround

Restructuring analysis, without the modeling.

Reading a company in difficulty is professional judgment. Converting that reading into scenarios, schedules and a plan that withstands scrutiny is mechanical work, and it is where the weeks go. Cycles Terminal performs the second part.

Capabilities

The analysis a distressed engagement requires.

Diagnosis

Established models, variables shown

Distress scoring computed from the statements provided, with the discriminant variables displayed so the result can be reproduced and defended rather than asserted.

Liquidity

Runway by scenario

Base, cost plan and downside modeled in parallel, with the burn decomposed and the working capital available for release quantified in currency.

Execution

Initiatives measured against the baseline

Each cost initiative carries its saving, its one-off cost and its payback. The scorecard tracks the indicators that matter against the position at the start of the engagement.

In practice

One base, every question answered from it.

Statements are loaded once. Diagnosis, runway, working capital and covenant position are computed from the same structure, so revising an assumption updates every dependent figure rather than requiring a new model.

Each figure traces back to the statement it came from, which is what allows the plan to hold when a creditor, a court or a committee examines it.
